Sometimes, when there is incomprehensible pop gibberish on the work radio and I try looking up the lyrics, it's like "oh, it seems obvious in hindsight, how did I not parse that before", and the sensory data kind of snaps into place. (Though it sometimes turns out that the song was better as incomprehensible gibberish.)

Other times it's like, no, actually, the reason you couldn't understand what they were saying there is because they were secretly code-switching into Korean.

(Okay, yes, the Korean word for "apartment" clearly descends from English (via Japanese, apparently), but still, overall I feel vindicated in that I could not reasonably have been expected to figure out what they were on about this time.)
